How do you go there,

Hands gloved in latex,

Face masked

Dripping sanitizer?

I did not see you descend

But now I see you rising

Dare you breathe?

Dare you touch the seat?

Dare you drink from the plastic glass?

I have not been recognized,

But I myself have recognized

How do you ride

From plane to house?

Is the driver sick or safe?

Is the rented room clean?

All things which are composed

Shall be decomposed

On earth and in heaven.*

from The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, Jean-Yves Leloup
